This week: Stick-style Victorian homes
1. Rockport, Maine This 16-room, 1870 Victorian sits on a park-like 3-acre property that includes extensive perennial gardens, specimen plantings, and an attached two-story carriage house. The house features elaborate custom cabinetry and trim and has two formal parlors, a gourmet kitchen, five fireplaces, and a wing decorated in the style of 19th-century summer lodges in the Adirondacks. $895,000. Alex Tenneson Cohen, Camden Real Estate, (800) 236-1920
2. Santa Cruz, Calif. A $2 million renovation has given the Thomas Weeks Mansion a brand-new feel. The 1888 Victorian has been updated with attention to historic details, but includes a new kitchen with stainless appliances and granite counters. The home’s corner tower offers a sunlit third-floor retreat. $1,750,000. Mark Rehnborg, Coldwell Banker, (831) 227-5223
3. Santa Cruz, Calif. The 1887 Willey House is located at the crest of Mission Hill, overlooking Mission Plaza. The six-bedroom home has a second-floor balcony that overlooks the park, and the interior features such original details as stained-glass windows, wood paneling, and ornamental fireplaces. The property also includes a rental cottage and an outdoor hot tub. $1,227,000. Tootsie Torres, Sally Bookman Team, (831) 212-2529
